I find playwriting to be incredibly difficult compared to screenwriting. Part of it is that I grew up watching movies and not watching plays.
Cronenberg's a lot of fun and that a lot of people don't know watching his movies. He doesn't take himself seriously. He's still reinventing himself.
I grew up watching Steven Spielberg and scary movies.
I grew up watching those blaxploitation movies. Ron O'Neal Richard Roundtree Jim Brown Pam Grier. For the first time I saw 'The Negro' get one over on 'The Man.'
All my friends were in college when I was making 'Superbad.' We were drinking beer and watching movies and eating pizza. It wasn't like I was going to nice restaurants or anything like that and I lived like a frat guy. Eventually it was time to grow up be healthy and be responsible. You can't live like a kid forever you know?
I want to do movies that I'm proud of where my kids at some point can see and I can feel comfortable sitting there watching it with them. And just that move people. That make people feel a little bit better about themselves when they leave the theatre.
I like making sci-fi movies because I like watching sci-fi movies. I like watching horror. I like being in a horror movie. I'm a fan. My perspective's a little different just because I get to participate as well as spectate.
I don't even like watching sex scenes in movies. I have a slight prudish side to me.
All through my life what I've loved doing is watching movies. I love the escapism of film I love stories. So it is incredible to be able to be in them as much as I am to see them from the first stitch in a costume to the end product.
I find that you learn from others. It's very much about watching TV and watching movies for me and grasping that way and watching other people act.
To be honest I don't enjoy watching movies much when I'm working. They tend to fall apart on me a bit.
I'm a movie nut. I go to the movies probably twice a week and if I'm not doing anything at night I'm usually watching a movie or two.
I was watching 'Up In The Air' and I thought 'Jesus who's the old gray-haired guy?' And it was me. I never wear makeup for movies and now it's starting to show.
I love watching the Bond movies obviously and I grew up reading the books as a kid. I've always loved them because of that.
I love huge movies. Not sure I am the guy to make them but you can rely on me being there watching them.
I remember being a kid and sleeping over at my friend's house and staying up late and watching 'Nosferatu.' Vampire movies are supposed to be secret and bad. They should be rated R.
I cry a lot you know. Which is very difficult for a man to recognise but I do. I cry in movies you know just watching movies.
